Rammstein Stripped

A password is required to watch this video, at least in Sweden. Is it the semi-naked bodies of the athletes - as they are supposed to look according to the ancient Olympic ideal - or Riefenstahl's vision may be miles away from the moralism of our political correctness? Submitting the artistic expression and the beauty of the human body under the censorship today renders Goebbels' propaganda machine indeed 'entartet'....

The Different

The formal logical refutation is a decision based on preference. The opposition between the rational and the irrational is only a matter of formal choice. The logic works also on another level than just the one we are able to show in a formalized way, written in the language of symbolic logic. The logic transcends its formal writing.

It participates in the construction of meaning....

Each relation is always libidinal. The base upon which the other is experienced as repelling or attractive is determined by a libidinal response whereas the certain amount of the libido is to be invested in the relation. Simultaneously, the amount of libidinal investment in the other varies depending whether the other is perceived to possess the object of one’s desire or not, and to trigger one’s desire. This, of course, is not reducible only to the erotic attraction. The libido is at the base of each relation as it were. More precisely, the libido underlies our relations. It supports our actions unconsciously, which does not imply that libido determines action but predisposes us to act. The libido simply drives us to any action. On the other hand, the direction of our action is determined by the object-cause of the desire. The cultivation of desire is a way out to upheave the instinctive pursuit of desire....
